“I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.” Who said this?

Mother Teresa
Abraham Lincoln
Walt Disney
Kennedy

The correct answer is Mother Teresa.

Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, India. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work with the poor and sick.

The quote “I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world” is often attributed to Mother Teresa. However, there is no evidence that she actually said this. The quote first appeared in a book called “The Joy in Loving” by Henri Nouwen, who was a Catholic priest and professor. Nouwen said that he heard the quote from a friend, but he did not name the friend.

It is possible that Mother Teresa did say something similar to this quote. She often spoke about her belief that God was using her to help others. For example, she said, “I am a pencil in the hand of God. He is the one who writes.”

However, it is also possible that Nouwen simply made up the quote. There is no way to know for sure who said it first.

Regardless of who said it, the quote is a beautiful expression of faith and hope. It reminds us that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves, and that we can make a difference in the world.
